I would guess that New York County, New York (Manhattan) has the most.

Kirkwood!

And just in my neighborhood, which is in the southwest armpit of Kirkwood, there are

- 3 Coopers
- 1 MCS
- 2 Clubmen

I saw a GP one day but never saw it again. Might have just been a visitor.

Per capita, Seattle's got to be up near the top. Over the last 4 years I've gone from seeing another Mini maybe once in a week, to often several in a day now. There are 4 in my neighborhood that I'm aware of.

San Francisco too. In fact, my money would on S.F. as number one per capita in the US. Every time I'm there, I amazed at all the Minis, they're as common as 3-series BMWs.

I'm STL City and am getting pretty convinced my neighborhood could give Kirkwood a run for its money.

Guidelines Update-Your Car and your County/City

Let's account for the cars that people have themselves and not assume the ones that we see on a block, or passby or in one city per capita. If you want your neighbor to add theirs to the list then maybe this is a good way to get them on here! The excitement is brewing.

Kirkwood- 5
Festus- 3
St. Peters-1
Ballwin-1
Concord Village-1
St. Louis City-2

Thats not fair... All the people in my city for the most part are either not fun or hate cars, or punk high schoolers that think their trans-am can take corners at infinite speeds...

I should get a handicap..( I think that's what its called in golf.. idk I dont play...)

You think YOU should get a handicap??? HA! I'm in SOUTHERN ILLINOIS of all places. Herrin, Illinois, between Carbondale and Marion, if you even know where that is People down here have no clue what a Mini is, much less who makes it, etc. As far as down here, I have seen 2 yellows, a BRG and mine (astro black) that I know are permanent. And that's for the REGION. I think there is one other that is permanent but I'm not sure. I saw a Clubman go down the road the other day but it was a main highway so it could have just been passing through. I get a handicap just for the sheer number of trucks I have to pass who can't even see me in their rearview mirrors because I'm lower than the truckbed. Although, luckily I'm not far enough south to have to deal with truck nutz, thank God.

It is a distance from STL but I was just there yesterday since I am going to be attending ITT in September in Earth City. I was in the St. Peters area for about 2 hours from 3-5 and I only seen 3 or 4 Coopers. Here in Columbia you can't drive across town without seeing seeing that many at midnight lol

Down here in Swampeast Misery (aka Southeast Missouri) most folks have never even heard of a MINI. Valerie (minimusic) will agree with how backward it is here. I think there are only two in Dexter, and probably that's all for a few counties. (Okay, maybe not quite that bad... ) But we ARE overrun with 'truck nutz'.

BTW: Dexter, MO (Stoddard County) MC Cabrio. There is another Cooper Cabrio here, and she loves her MINI but she isn't properly enthusiastic about it so I guess it won't count.
